It would also greatly increase 'svn st' speed in case filestamps don't
match. In the current scenario, the file must be 'detranslated' to be
able to check its size against the size stored in the .svn/entries
file. Storing the WC file size would eliminate the need for that step
in many situations (ie where a change resulted in a file size change).
